First Steps

WHO: Katara ([personal profile] usedwatergun), Sokka ([personal profile] usedstrategy), and Zuko ([personal profile] scalded)
WHERE: Pallet Town Harbor
WHEN: Friday, April 12th, 2013 -- Morning
SUMMARY: After taking the ferry to Kanto, the two water tribe teenagers and their fire nation friend are together again for the start of a new adventure.
RATING: G
LOG:

Maybe this place wasn’t so bad. The food was decent (aside from that bento thing that crazy ‘mom’ lady gave him. How dare she call it complete without any meat!?), the animals were kind of cool – well, when they weren’t trying to kill him anyway – and Katara was there. From what he’d heard, Zuko was there too. How this place worked and took people was kind of freaky, though. It’d be something for him to work on figuring out while they were travelling and training and stuff. The world had a nice laid-back feeling to it though, as if it had never seen war. It made him worry about back home, and what his dad, Aang, Toph, Suki, and everyone else were up to, but... It felt like this was where he was needed right now. Katara was here, after all, and he had to look after his little sister still – even if she didn’t always think she needed it. He had to make sure she’d be ready to take on the things that she hadn’t learned to already herself, and big brothers were there to help with that until their little sisters were ready for it, right?

“Hey, the town’s there,” Sokka grinned to himself as he saw the horizon coming up in the distance, leaning on the side of the boat with his Joltik riding on his head. Okay, him and Super Spider had a rough start, but he thought they were sort of getting along now. He wasn’t getting hog-tied by spider webs anymore anyway. And the cruise to get over to this ‘Kanto’ place was really nice too, even if it was a little lonely. It gave him time to study up, and now he thought he sort of got how this world worked; there was a lot of fighting, sure, but it was all in fun and... Maybe they sort of needed that, to just have fun again. Not to mention Katara said that time pretty much stood still whenever they were there, and considering that he’d never noticed Katara going missing into a place like this back home... Well, he still had to figure out how that one worked, but he believed that it was true. He would have noticed if it wasn't.

At long last they reached the harbor, Sokka grabbing his things and stepping off of the ship before he caught sight of the familiar water-tribe girl and fire nation boy, “Ready to meet my little sister, Super Spider?”

He heard a little hiss and just assumed that meant yes before he cupped one hand at the side of his mouth and called out, “Hey! Katara! Zuko! We’re over here!”

My tracking notifs died and I didn't realize. And doing a minor bit of retconning

Katara gave Tepig what she hoped he'd take as an encouraging smile.

"I've been back since last month, and I'm not rich, I just worked and saved up. I was here before and I realized it's cheaper to have a house than to pay for inns every night when you're not on the road much."

But she would end up helping him out anyway. That was a given, considering they were family and he needed help.

"Well, it's technically not ours just yet. I've been renting it, but as soon as I save up enough I plan to buy it."

Since it looks like they're all ready she'll start them in the direction of town again. New Bark won't have much to offer, but the sooner they start the sooner they'll reach a spot to camp, or reach the next town.
